Selected Additions and Renovations

Additions and extensions require a rigorous approach to building practice, sensitivity to location and appreciation of the homes’ contemporary or historic appeal. Below are a few examples of Paradigm renovations that have preserved the integrity of these buildings while providing homeowners with the aesthetic and functional revisions they desired.

Taronga Road

This 1948 weatherboard did not keep up with the needs of a growing family. The rooftop extension provided a master bedroom, bathroom, walk-in closet at the front of the house and an office and art studio at the rear. The simple, spacious design allows for future flexibility in its use. It genuinely reflects the owners love of timber and stone.

Southern Swan

This welcoming and beautiful apothecary, bookshop and home emerged from a 20th century milk bar in Cygnet, Tasmania. Materials were reused where possible and sourced and salvaged from around the state. The shop and house boast many sustainable initiatives and has an energy rating of 6.7 stars.

Davy Street extension

Paradigm Construction achieved a seamless transition from the original 1913 Edwardian brick house to the thoughtful, contemporary addition. Through careful use of energy efficient and ecologically sound materials and methods this renovation highlights how green building practices can be employed in any renovation.  This home is proof that adhering to environmentally conscious practices does not have to restrict the client’s personal style or be inhibited by the architectural style.
